with fulvous ; a curved dark anteinedial line ; a speck in cell and 

 discocellular band with a patch of fuscous beyond it ; the post- 

 medial line oblique from costa to vein 5, then slightly waved and 

 excurved to vein 2, along which it is retracted nearly to the cell ; 

 an obscure minutely waved submarginal line ; a dark marginal line ; 

 the cilia fuscous. Hind wing with slight dark patch beyond lower 

 angle of cell ; the postmedial line bent outwards between veins 5 

 and 2, along which it is retracted, then oblique to anal angle ; an 

 indistinct waved submarginal line ; the marginal area suffused with 

 rufous ; a dark marginal line ; the cilia pale. 



The typical form, which occurs on the Nilgiris, has the wings 

 much suffused with fuscous from base to the postmedial line and 

 on marginal area, leaving a quadrate yellow spot in end of cell of 

 fore wing ; whilst plumbocilialis, from Dharmsala and Sikhim, is a 

 much less suffused form.
